Hi Guys
I have been wrestling with a b30 164 for the last couple of months (first time with Volvo) and I would like some assistance. I am looking for the vacuum advance plug in. It is a marinised b30 with triple downdraft solex carbs. Its been a mission so far and this is the last thing to finish.
Cheers and HNY
Andrew

Not sure that a marine engine would actually have vacuum advance, I don't think it'd need it in that duty. Is there a balance pipe connecting the manifolds for the carbs? If so I'd tap a point into that.
